Towel-snap at Wagenknecht in the pre-fête locker room

texture · 20 Nov YDAU, pre-exhibition

When: 20 November YDAU, immediately before the fundraiser-exhibition fête
What: In the full squad's autopilot pre-match ritual — dressing, taping, superstition, fart-accusations and -denials — Rader snaps a towel at Wagenknecht, who likes to stand for long periods bent at the waist with his head against his knees. The book's closing image of him: mid-ritual, mid-prank, one of the pack. (Pemulis, per this scene, has been nowhere to be seen since early that A.M. — part of the basis for ruling this distinct from event 8.)
